<h2>Answer:</h2>

Hence, the rate of change of the price of apples is:

$ 0.20 per year.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Let P denote the price of apples.

It is given that the initial price of apples is: $ 0.30 per lb.

i.e. P(0)=$ 0.30 per lb.

Also, the price of the apples after three years is: $ 0.90 per lb.

i.e. P(3)=$ 0.90 per lb.

Hence, the rate of the change of the price of apples is calculated by:

$Rate\ of\ change=\dfrac{P(3)-P(0)}{3-0}$

Now on putting the value in the formula we obtain:

$Rate\ of\ change=\dfrac{0.90-0.30}{3-0}\\\\\\Rate\ of\ change=\dfrac{0.60}{3}\\\\\\Rate\ of\ change=0.20$

The rate of change is:

$ 0.20 per year.

solong [7]

Answer:

Sales budget $ for the 4 quarters is $ 600,000 $ 720,000 $594000 and $ 825,000

Production Budget in units for the four quarters i s 7997.6 9000 8900 and 10,350 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales Budget

Quarters I II III IV

Sales Volume 8000 9600 7200 10,000

<u>Sales Price $75.00 $75.00 $ 82.50 $82.50 </u>

<u>Sales $ 600,000 720,000 594000 825,000 </u>

We calculate the sales volume by applying the given percent to the sales units for each quarter. Then multiply it with the sales price to get the sales budget.

Production Budget

Quarters I II III IV

Sales Volume 8000 9600 7200 10,000

+ Desired

Ending Inv. 2400 1800 3500 3850

<u>Less Opening ----- 2400 1800 3500 </u>

<u>Production 7997.6 9000 8900 10,350 </u>

We find the production budget units by adding the desired ending inventory and subtracting the opening inventory from the sales units calculated above. The ending inventory of one quarter is the opening inventory of the next quarter.As we do not know the ending inventory of the previous year we cannot find the opening inventory of the 1st quarter of the year .

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

0.04

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we must use the following formula to be able to find the standard error, which would be the square root, of the probability for its complement divided by the population:

SE= $\sqrt{\frac{p *(1-p)}{n} } \\$

Now, knowing that p = 0.552 and n = 160 we replace and we are left with:

SE = $\sqrt{\frac{0.552 *(1-0.552)}{160} } \\$

SE = $\sqrt{0.00154}$

SE = 0.039

Which means that the standard error of the proportion is 0.04

You have two 30-60-90 triangles, ADC and BDC.

The ratio of the lengths of the sides of a 30-60-90 triangle is

short leg : long leg : hypotenuse
1 : sqrt(3) : 2

Using triangle ADC, we can find length AC.
Using triangle BDC, we can find length BC.
Then AB = AC - BC

First, we find length AC.
Look at triangle ACD.
DC is the short leg opposite the 30-deg angle.
DC = 10sqrt(3)
AC = sqrt(3) * 10sqrt(3) = 3 * 10 = 30

Now, we find length BC.
Look at triangle BCD.
For triangle BCD, the long leg is DC and the short leg is BC.
BC = 10sqrt(3)/sqrt(3) = 10

AB = AC - BC = 30 - 10 = 20
